Neuwave's Edge of the Reef

neuwave · Jun 15, 2012

Hi everyone.

Been lurking and posting randomly through out the months. Reef2reef is a great reefing community and just thought I'd share a couple pics of my tank. Some of the corals aren't completely colored up at the moment since I had a power outage recently and some of the sps didn't take it too well. But a few weeks should get them back in line. Also excuse the pics, I need a tripod and a better macro lens and a tad work on my white balance. Otherwise here they are. Lol

Hope these work for now.

Thanks I appreciate it. That pom pom is about 4 years old and she has been laying eggs eve since. I have a slightly smaller male In the tank for the past year and both are always out and about during feeding. They have mated a couple of times and it makes great fish/coral food.

Thanks I rescaped it a few days ago. And I scraped a ton of Coraline of the acrylic which took hours.
The Coraline just grows like crazy it's insane.

Who says LEDs can't grow Coraline algae. Lol
Took me hours to get it all off.

Very cool tank, I really like what you've done with the space. Not many people can pull off a tall scape without making it look like a boring wall.

Thanks. The dimensions are 24" base x 24" height and 16 back to front. So it took a few tries to get as much space as possible out of the tank.

Couples more pics.

Really like the tank, if you don't mind me asking what's the multi color chalice on the left?

Thanks it's always a work in progress.
It's an Aussie war paint type chalice. I bought the mini colony a while back. I have yet to name it. As parts of it shades it self I'm starting to get blue streaks throughout the purple and red.

Thanks. I need to add more to make part of that rock as a Yuma wall.

Couple late night pics.

This chalice gets better and better.
So far it's baby/sky blue with red eyes and yellow mouth slit in each blood red eye. The right side has really developed a solid red rim and blue goes right to the rim. The red on the left side just grew back after a fight with the acan. Never got back the blue and the red expanded after the heal.

Acan echinata

Acan lord developing more colors in th polyps.

Awesome stuff, I really like the scape, the yellow Acan, and the Pom Pom crab. Did I miss it, what are the dimensions and size?

lakeviewink · Jun 20, 2012

That Pom Pom is about 4 years old. I have a male for her and I've caught them mating a couple of times. Has never stung anything and they are always and I mean always out and about near feeding time.

The lights are a DIY led. They are about 2 years old now.
During the build.

Thanks! I appreciate it. Pom Pom, one of my favorite crabs. I give a thumbs up to these little guys.

Thanks rev. And I must admit this site doesn't lie, definitely a friendly community. Well done!
Side note did you ever make those shirts with the 6 pics showing what's reefer's do and then actually do? I must have one! Lol

Some new photos.

A tad too much blue but the tips are really pink and purple base.

Also just a fun pic of scarlet hermits hanging around.
